Youtube Channel Met God in Wilderness flew a drone over Tesla Fremont and spotted a disguised new Tesla Model. It had its front and rear covered. I used AI analysis to determine the new car is a compact Tesla Model Y. It is 8 inches shorter. (180 inches versus 188.6 inches).
Tesla is expected to release a new lower priced model in the first half of 2025. This would mean revealing the new model by the end of June 2025.
Chatgpt says the new disguised cars is 20 centimeters shorter.
If 1 wheel diameter ≈ 27 inches (68.6 cm):
Current Model Y:
188.6
Camouflaged Model:
180 inches
The camouflaged Tesla (second image) does appear to be shorter than the current Model Y (first image).
The tire size and roofline angle help confirm this, especially with the shorter rear overhang and tighter body proportions visible in the camouflaged prototype. This could suggest a refreshed Model Y with a slightly more compact footprint — possibly for efficiency, cost, or design reasons.
